SkyTab's New Name
SkyTab POS Is Now Shift4 Dine
SkyTab POS was officially rebranded Shift4 Dine in May 2026. The new name continues the restaurant technology platform within the Shift4 ecosystem.
Existing restaurant merchants did not need to replace their systems solely because of the rebrand.
However, current hardware, software features, product names, and promotional offers should be confirmed before making a new purchasing decision.
For clarity, this page uses both names when discussing the restaurant POS platform.

Understand Your Complete Costs
SkyTab POS Pricing, Free Hardware and Contract Terms
The advertised monthly POS service fee is only one part of the complete merchant agreement. Restaurant owners should compare the full cost of processing, hardware, and software before making a decision.
| Offer | Advertised Price | Important Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Standard SkyTab POS Service | $29.99 per month per base station | Qualifying equipment, Shift4 processing, applicable agreements, and additional fees |
| Cash Discount Advantage Promotion | $0 monthly base station service fee for the first 12 months | Promotional eligibility, approved processing program, post-promotion pricing, and contract obligations |
| Additional Equipment | Quoted separately where applicable | Handhelds, kitchen displays, peripherals, kiosks, and optional devices |
| Payment Processing | Based on approved processing terms | Transaction fees, account charges, applicable program requirements, and taxes |
What Does Free SkyTab POS Hardware Mean?
Under qualifying offers, restaurants may receive specified POS equipment without paying a purchase price upfront.
However, free upfront hardware does not mean the equipment is unrestricted or free of contractual obligations.
Processing requirements, equipment conditions, termination provisions, and possible return obligations must be reviewed in the final written documents.
How Does the First-Year Promotion Work?
VMS's qualifying Cash Discount Advantage offer includes a $0 monthly base POS station service fee for the first year.
After the promotional period, monthly station charges may apply. Processing charges and optional equipment fees may still apply during the promotional period.
Therefore, request a quote that clearly identifies first-year costs, later recurring fees, and the full service commitment.
What Is the SkyTab POS Agreement Term?
The current VMS partner-program information describes a three-year service agreement.
However, certain previously published POS forms refer to other initial periods, including a 12-month term.
The actual agreement length, renewals, equipment obligations, and termination provisions are governed by the final signed documents.
Pricing transparency: VMS recommends reviewing the complete processing and POS proposal before signing. Ask for every recurring charge, optional feature, equipment obligation, and promotional expiration date in writing.
Avoid Unexpected Charges
Additional SkyTab POS Fees to Review Before Enrolling
A complete restaurant POS quote should explain all applicable equipment, payment processing, software, and service charges.
Additional Hardware Fees
Extra handhelds, kitchen displays, printers, tablets, customer displays, and other peripherals may carry separate charges.
Verify each device in the equipment order.
Payment Processing Fees
POS service fees and payment processing fees are separate.
Review transaction charges, account fees, and applicable processing program requirements.
Optional Software and Integrations
Some advanced features, modules, integrations, or third-party services may involve additional costs.
Ask which functions are included in the quoted package.
Agreement and Equipment Obligations
Carefully review renewal rules, equipment ownership, return conditions, and possible termination charges.
The signed agreement controls these obligations.
Important Compatibility Requirement
SkyTab POS Requires Shift4 Payment Processing
SkyTab POS, now Shift4 Dine, is offered through VMS as an integrated Shift4 processing solution.
SkyTab POS must be used with Shift4 payment processing.
It should not be treated as an open POS system that can operate with any unrelated credit card processor.
If your restaurant currently uses another processor, VMS can help you evaluate a potential transition.
On the other hand, if preserving your current processor is essential, we can compare alternative POS systems instead.
